The San Diego Union-Tribune quoted Dowell Myers about how shrinking family sizes in Mexico could decrease immigration into the United States. American authorities are building a 670-mile fence along the border to stop more from coming, but some say such a measure is overkill, the story stated. "It's like building a dike for a flood that might not be there," Myers said. This story was carried widely.
